However, what I mean here is to divide the program into a group of tasks and deal with them one by one.

When code that does one task is written, particularly a function, you should go ahead and test it to see if it fully works, hence conquering a part of the program.

In Chapter 15 we'll be going through a set of programming exercises which will utilize the concept of Divide and Conquer.

When testing it, you should take into account every possible precondition and postcondition associated with that function. This is part of the fourth step we discussed in the previous section.
Next we'll look at an example of applying the divide and conquer concept as well as the four step programming paradigm so you can see both in action!
